The breakwater, harbour and town at Santa Cruz de la Palma, Canary Islands. The photographer is looking along the breakwater showing boat landing steps with a crowd of local people gathered by a crane waiting for the arrival of tourists from a cruise ship. A uniformed man is standing at the top of the steps. A building near the inland end of the breakwater has Obras del Puerto on it and a little further inland are a Shell petrol pump, a building with Texaco on it and a poster for Goodyear tyres on the hillside. The town is built on the lower slopes of the Caldera de Taburiente.
